5.00What an amazing day out! Nina was a fantastic guide, so friendly and full of knowledge about the area. We cruised the Mekong, rode a sampan through the narrow canals, visited the coconut candy factory, bee farm and finished with a great lunch at Vuon Dau restaurant. Saw and tasted things we never would have found on our own. Really authentic experience away from the city hustle. If you do this tour ask for Nina, she made it special!
